CROCHET: A pretty but elegant shift dress with an understated diamond mesh texture formed in filet crochet technique. This is such a fresh simple style perfect for summer; it could be worn anywhere as a short mini dress or in the long version it is stunning for weddings, festivals and summer events”.

The dress is quite easy to make and adjust “as you go” for size/length at hips and waist etc. as it is worked downwards from the mesh yoke.

The main body of the dress is formed with bands of the delicate diamond lace pattern; or you could also work portions of plain texture in between patterned bands, if you prefer.
